VERACRUZ, Mexico - Mel Gibson, about to wrap up the filming of his Mayan epic, "Apocalypto," in the jungles of Mexico's Veracruz state, is donating money to build houses for poor people in the region.

The 50-year-old director-actor will donate the money through the Rotary Club and Mexico's family welfare agency, government officials announced Thursday.

It's certainly admirable whenever someone chooses to help those in need, and these people are most definitely in need. But given his beliefs (the reform Catholic Church), these people are all destined for hell anyway. I guess he feels they might as well live in some earthly comfort before they die and burn in hell for all eternity.
